German industrial something or other. Forgot how they classed it.
Eisbrecher anybody?
@Gil O'Teen Meh. That's great if you're the last man on earth, but we don't live in a bubble. The threat is an external, so self-righteousness does/means/is nothing but mental masturbation.
Chimps gunna chimp in other words
@-A he's a big conspiracy nut too. it's fun talking about the JQ with him but yeah it does get tiresome talking with people who have such all encompassing fatalistic worldviews.
@ Gil O'Teen Is he for or against the JQ? Does it trigger his Hitler or his Stalin?
@-A he thinks hitler did nothing wrong. big fan of saddam hussein too.
@MRB TRUE. WE ALL DEPEND ON SOCIETY. OR AT LEAST: IT HELPS US BE ABLE TO DO MORE THAN OTHERWISE.
so it's not all bad
THE JQ IS A DISTRACTION
THE WAR ON LEFTISM IS NOT
NOR IS THE WAR ON INDIVIDUALISM
WHICH IS HUBRIS
THE ROOT OF OUR BROKENNESS
he's the kind of conspiracy guy who gets so deep that he becomes neutralized. he thinks everything is controlled and nothing can truly be known. solipsism.
@MRB Agreed. Living with saintly thoughts resting on simply being virtuous without regard to those that mean to do you harm is overly solipsistic.
Reminds me of the cuck think line "take the moral high ground"
BRB. Getting a late lunch.
if i had that mindset i think i would at least join a church and get my family in there to help protect them. i'm sure he could find something that roughly matches up with that kind of thinking. he's totally checked out though. he thinks each individual needs to figure things out and there's nothing he can do to prevent anything with his kids. i work with the guy though so it's hard to directly criticize these things. i just talk with him on his level.
Is he an introvert?
Yeah. Seems like it. It seems like one of those "perfect world" ethical points of view. Those only work on paper, and given all the assumptions work. Idealistic while not at all pragmatic.
he thinks the world is completely controlled. nothing but your own personal experience can be trusted. if you try and get success you're playing into their hands. if you try and resist you'll get crushed. so all you can do is be passive and be true to conscience or whatever.
Defeatist solipsism?
yep
the end of the conspiracy road
Who does he think "they" are?
jews/globalists/people who control money and have access to both lost ancient and far future technology
that's why he likes hitler and saddam, because they got destroyed, meaning they were fighting for truth
trump is totally controlled
Ah now I know what you mean. I know those types.
normally i wouldn't bother talking to people like this but he's a coworker of sorts so i make the best of it
i wrote a post on trs forums a while back about how to sort the conspiracy people wheat from the chaff.
Link?
Love stuff like that
bc conspiracy is weird both ways: the believer and the non look at each other like they're both crazy
got a trs account? it's locked down
Ah no. Damn.
it's ok i'll throw it up on a pastebin or somethign so all can see
I fully agree with your analysis.
